Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes. Slice the smallest potatoes in half and any larger pieces into quarters so that all pieces are similar sizes.
Place potatoes in a medium pot. Cover with an inch of water. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce to a low simmer. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, about 8-12 minutes. Reserve at least ½ cup potato cooking water before draining the potatoes.
Meanwhile, make the herb dressing. To a blender or food processor, add the olive oil, sliced chives, fresh dill, roughly chopped cilantro, lemon juice, lemon zest, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and ¼ cup reserved potato water.
Blend the dressing until mostly smooth. Taste for salt and herbs. Add extra potato water as needed to thin the dressing to a pourable consistency.
Add the cooked potatoes to a large bowl. Toss with the herby dressing.
Cover and chill the potato salad in the fridge for at least 2 hours before enjoying, or serve immediately as a warm dish. Garnish with the green onions, additional fresh chopped herbs, and freshly ground black pepper before serving.

Notes
Baby potatoes: Any waxy potato (French fingerling, red potatoes, new potatoes) can be used. Cook time may differ based on the type of potato.
Cilantro: An equal amount of fresh parsley can be used if you don't like cilantro.
Herb amounts: I buy 1-ounce containers of fresh herbs and use about half of them in the dressing. Additional herbs can be chopped up as a garnish.
Leftovers: Refrigerate leftover potato salad in a closed container for 3-4 days.
Make-ahead instructions: Store the dressing and potatoes separately. Toss the potatoes with the dressing and garnishes just before serving.
